Trusting Patriot running backs over the years has proved to be a frustrating situation for many fantasy owners. Of late, BenJarvus Green-Ellis has been a disappointment but he should be the top option in the running game against a Broncos defense that has struggled to contain the likes of Marion Barber and Toby Gerhart, in recent weeks.

Both running backs are bigger north-south type runners and while the Law Firm isn’t exactly like them, he’s the closest style of runner New England has to their way of playing. If you’re up for gambling on Green-Ellis getting the football over 15 times this coming week, he could give you a strong performance from the flex position.

Beanie Wells vs. Browns—

The Arizona Cardinals have been playing well of late, and their defense is a big reason why. While Wells struggled against the 49ers, he should get a pass from fantasy owners, as the 49ers are one of the hardest teams in football to run against. This week is a different story for Wells as the Cardinals host the Cleveland Browns and that means the big man should be in line for over 20 carries for 100 yards and maybe even a couple of scores.

In what should be a tough matchup, Michael Crabtree is worthy of keeping in your lineup as he’s clearly been Alex Smith's top receiver in the second half of the season. Last week Crabtree was targeted 12 times in a loss to the Cardinals, and Smith will likely be throwing throughout Monday night's contest against the Steelers.
